( An Open appeal to Prime Minster of India and Finance Minister of India)
Subject: Illegal recovery from PF optees in PSU Banks
And
Misuse of usual delay in judicial process
I would like to draw your kind intervention in the matter of second offer of pension being given to bank employees who did not accept pension offer in 1993/95 when pension scheme was first introduced in banks in lieu of contributory provident fund.
After prolonged movement by bank employees for almost 15 years and after 30 months agitational programme, Indian banks Association (IBA) signed an agreement with United Forum of Bank Employees (UFBU) on 27th of April. Till 25th of April 2010 there was never a talk among leaders during last 15 years that there will be recovery from PF optees from their arrear if they are given second option for pension. But in the eleventh hour, union leaders who are mostly retired employees were ill motivated by IBA and it is they played a mischievous role to introduce a discriminatory clause in the agreement which enables banks to recover 2.8 times of revised salary of November 2007 from such employees who opts for pension.
Obviously those who opted for pension in 1993/95 got free option for pension whereas those who will opt for the same benefit after 15 years prolonged movement will have to purchase the same by paying Rs.50000 to more than one lac rupees. This discrimination is clearly in violation of spirit of Equality of Law granted under Indian Constitution.
Since the agreement was signed by a few say 20 union leaders on behalf of eight lac bank employees IBA got an upper hand in executing even legally invalid clause. In such position bank employees all over the country started condemning the said bipartite settlement, formed fresh unions and finally filed writs in various high courts.
On 24th June 2010 Madras High Court granted interim stay on recovery from PF optees.
But IBA and bank management in nexus with mischievous union leaders filed another writ in the same court for vacation on stay on the false but emotional plea that retired employees are on the verge of death and banks are unable to start pension payment to them because they have no fund and they not got refund from retired employees.
Court due to its busy schedule heard the petition on 10th of August 2010, considered the pain of retired employees and vacated the stay.
IBA and union leaders in particular and people of India understand it very well that once the court case is filed in any Indian court, it will take a decade or two decade in getting final judgment on any issue. In such situation banks can execute the disputed agreement.
It is open secret now that banks will not only spend lavishly on advocate to prolong the hearing , torture the fighting employees and but also try its best to weaken the fighting intensity of employees who have moved courts in the large interest of three lac retired and three lac serving employees.
Obviously bank employees for none of their fault will have to pay Rs.50000/ to more than one lac to purchase pension offer which is absolutely illegal and not reasonable from any angle of consideration. Such discriminatory recovery never occurred in any department in our country. This historic blunder is going to be committed by bank management and bank employees will become victim of faulty judicial process as everyone knows that it takes High courts and Supreme Court two to three decades in deciding any case.
I therefore make an earnest appeal to you to advise finance ministry, banking division, law ministry and IBA to bring about necessary change in the agreement or else government of India should promulgate an ordinance and make bank employees at par with Central government employees and nullify the said discriminatory agreement. In the recent past when dispute arose between IRDA and SEBI government of India with the help of ordinance nullified the effect of court case filed by IRDA against SEBI.
Alternately you can ensure expeditious judicial process by appointing special bench in Supreme Court combining writs filed at various High courts to decide the issues of writ in fixed time frame of 30 days. .
It is the most disheartening and sad story of Indian judicial system that courts are used in general and in practice not to get justice but to perpetuate reign of injustice. Courts seldom award punishment to guilty person in time but spend so much time in the process of judgment that the victim is either extinguished or the very purpose of filing a case is defeated or loses physical, mental and financial energy to such a pitiable extent that the case filed for justice is ultimately left unattended and become useless and endless. Even the veteran criminals get relief once the police files case in any court. It is very easy to prolong the judicial process as per whims and fancies of the criminal and at least till all witnesses or all plaintiffs are finished or become ineffective.
For your ready reference and to enlighten you more on the subject I submit hereunder some important points related to pension rules and subsequent agreement prevalent in banks.
1. In the Pension Regulations 1993/1995 there is no provision for collecting money from employees to make up the short-fall in pension fund. If at all any short fall is faced it should be made good by the banks themselves. Then on what basis banks are now asking employees to contribute for short fall?
2. In 7th, 8th, 9th bi-partite settlements 8.25%, 9.25%, 13% of additional cost of pension was carved out of wage load and given to banks to make-up the shortfall in pension fund. This amount belongs to both Pension Optees and PF optees, but used for paying pension to Pension Optees only. Therefore is there any logic in asking funds now from PF optees only?
3. In the Pension Regulation 1993/1995 there was a clause stating that pension will not be paid to those employees who participates in any strike. In 1999, this clause has been removed, but no fresh option is given to PF optees to join pension scheme then. Why?
4. In Railways and RBI fresh options were given to employees to join Pension Scheme several times without asking single paisa. Then why in Banks, Employees are asked to contribute towards Pension Fund?
5. If all the employees would have opted for Pension in 1996/1995 itself, how banks would have managed Pension Fund?
6. In State Bank of India three retirement benefits are being given to employees. viz. PF+Pension+Gratuity. In Public Sector Banks only two benefits are available. Even for that second benefit Employees have to pay in every wage revision settlement. Does it mean Bank Employees are not given two retirement benefit, but they are given only 1.5 benefits i.e., half of what SBI employees are getting?
7. When SBI associate banks are merged with SBI, Govt. is ready to extend Pension Benefit to those Employees of associate banks without asking anything from employees. Where from money comes to meet this additional expenditure?
8. Banks are ready to incur expenditure to the extent of 14% (10% of B.P. +D.A) towards PF for new recruits from 01.04.2010, but not ready to pay more than 10% for PF optees. Why?
9. Pension Regulation 1993/1995 provides for paying pension only on superannuation, i.e. after 60years of age only, but at the time of VRS2000 it is modified /amended to give pension to even employee of 40years. Because of this act of Banks only, Pension fund dried up. Is it not true?
10. Hence, we PF optees feel principle of natural Justice is denied to us and it is clear cut violation of fundamental Law of Equality before justice granted by Constitution of India to each citizen of India.
I am fully confident you will take all possible steps to give justice to six lac bank employees who have been badly affected by said agreement. It is worthwhile to mention here that bank management has already recovered Rs.1800 crores from serving employees who will be given second offer for pension as per said Agreement. Not only this , even trade unions participating in the said agreement has realized more than two hundred crores from bank employees as Levy or their remuneration or fee for negotiating with IBA and for signing on the said agreement.

Arbitrary promotion and whimsical transfer is the root cause of rampant corruption and culture of flattery to superiors. Culture of flattery to bosses and tendency to become Yesman of Ministers, MPs and MLAs is the root cause of all maladies prevailing in the society. Every employee in our country knows the bitter truth that only those who are yesmen of bosses can get elevation in their career or get cream and comfortable posting.
Most of MLS, MP and Ministers have accumulated properties worth many crores of rupees. Department of vigilance or CBI or Anti corruption cell or Economic offenders cell are silent spectators.
So many IAS and IPS officers have been found indulged in corrupt practices only because they have got the blessings of their mentor Ministers.
So many bank officers and executives have properties worth crores of rupees, which is far more than their total earning in their entire tenure. It is possible only because there is practically none to look into corrupt practices prevailing in the bank at higher level.
When Head of any department or office is corrupt, or when any minister in the government is corrupt it will be foolish to imagine of healthy culture down the line.
It is very difficult to survive with dignity when the boss is corrupt and when boss likes flattery.
Only when boss loves real performance, employees feel delighted in working sincerely.
When real performers are awarded, there will be positive motivation. On the contrary if corrupt is promoted and given good posting, it is but natural that people will be tempted to toe the line of boss even if it is wrong and unethical and against the interest of the organization
As long as we are unable to provide a reasoning based transfer and merit based promotion and as long as the wrong doers are not punished by either head of the department or by the courts we cannot imagine of stopping corrupt practices prevailing in the system and spreading like cancer in the society.
Old proverb survival for the fittest no more holds good. Now a days survival is possible only for the person who is well versed in flattery to bosses, who can earn money through ill methods and share the same with his bosses.
The bitter truth is that there is no foolproof method of providing perfectly merit-based promotion or seniority based promotion in any office. None of the promotion processes can ensure justice to all, justice to the organization and discomfort to none as long as the person responsible for carrying out the promotion process is dishonest and corrupt. When protectors become destructors, damage to society cannot be stopped,
One easy way to stop whimsical transfer and arbitrary promotion is to maintain transparency and abolish the requirement of passing through Interview for existing employees for getting promotion. Interview is such a test where Interviewers can easily spoil the candidates career.
During interview, key role is played by elements like bribe, gift, sources, godfathers, and flattery possessed by employee whose performance is assessed during interview. When Interviewer desires to promote an employee he raises easy questions or do not raise any question and give higher marks and on the contrary he may raises toughest and irrelevant questions before the candidate to reject him in the promotion process.
The interviewer as per his whims and fancies gives marks for interview and unfortunately there is no method to penalize such malicious interviewers or the interview team made of birds of the same feather. There is hardly any place for merit in the mind of Interview panel and this why whimsical promotions take place and a reign of injustice and that of corruption spreads like epidemic and is followed by inefficiency, frustration, depression and what not.
Last but not the least; our courts cannot deliver justice in decades. This eliminates the fear from the minds of interviewer and the aggrieved employee is constrained to bear with the rejection in promotion process. Justice delayed is justice denied. And when there is no hope of justice even from court, aggrieved person in promotion process is left with no alternative other than digesting the poison of injustice.
It is an open secret in our society that victim is afraid of lodging complain in police department against any type of criminal. Not to speak of promotions, management can torture an employee by using his power of transfer and posting an employee in the name of exigencies as per his sweet will.
I therefore request you to take immediate steps to ensure merit based transparent promotion and reasoning based transfers and posting in all offices. Only one remedy to cure disease of corruption is to award honest performers and sideline corrupt performers. Only the bearer knows where the shoe pinches is a right proverb in this regard.
IN BANKING INDUSTRY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OFFICERS WHO ARE FACING TRANSFER EVEN TWICE OR THRICE A YEAR WHEREAS OFFICERS SITTING IN METROS ARE SITTING IN ONE TOWN SINCE JOINING SAY FOR TWO OR THREE DECADES.
EVEN POLICY OF RURAL POSTING IS MISUSED BY THE MANAGEMENT TO ISOLATE NON FLATTERERS .
EVEN POLICY OF POSTING OUTSIDE STATE AFTER PROMOTION IS MISUSED TO FAVOUR THE PEOPLE OF WEST BENGAL OR THAT OF MAHARASHTRA.
POLICY OF NORTH EAST POSTING IS USED TO ISOLATE NON FLATTERERS. POLICY OF TRANSFER FOR NON PERFORMERS IS ALSO USED BY THE EXECUTIVE TO KEEP NON FLATTERES AWAY.
NOWHERE AND NONE OF POLICIES ARE USED TO PROMOTE THE CULTURE OF PERFORMANCE.
AS SUCH IT IS COMPARATIVELY BENEFICIAL TO ELIMINATE THE ELEMENTS OF DISCRETION OR DISCRIMINATION IN THE INTERNAL PROMOTION PROCESS AND TRANSFER POLICY.THE MORE TRANSPARENT WILL BE THE POLICIES , THE LESS WILL BE QUANTUM OF FLATTERY IN THE MIND OF WORKING OFFICERS.
EXECUTIVES WHO ARE INDULGED IN CORRUPT PRACTICES WHILE RELEASING ORDER OF TRANSFER OF PUTTING THEIR SIGNATURE ON PROMOTION ORDERS MUST BE SUITABLY PUNISHED SO THAT RECURRENCE OF SUCH MALPRACTICE DO NOT TAKE PLACE.
JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED. YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE RESENTMENT, FRUSTRATION AND DEPRESSION PREVAILING IN THE FIELD LEVEL FOR LONG WITHOUT INVITING STRIKE AND LARGE SCALE REVOLT AND RAMPAGE

Sibu Soren backed by BJP to become CM today
Some people are criticizing BJP for backing Sibu Soren in becoming CM of Jharkhand because of court cases against him. Had BJP not embraced Sibu Soren, Congress party could have done so and left him like Madhu Koda to loot the state as much as possible and get share of it. Congress party negotiated at its best but failed because Subodh Kant Sahay and Babu Lal Marandi both were dreaming of CM's post.. After all none wanted to put Jharkhand under President’s rule and leave the state law and order as Bhagwan Bharose.However it is not astonishing and unusual or a new thing in Indian politics. At least BJP is expected to have better monitoring than Congress Party.BJP is doing good job in Bihar jointly with Nitish Kumar’s JD(U)
In the past Chandra Sekhar with support of 40 MPs could become PM only because Congress party backed him. Congress Party did not hesitate to make Individual candidate Mr. Madhu Koda as CM in the same state Jharkhand merely to keep BJP away from power. In the same Jharkhand, last year Sibu Soren was installed as CM of Jharkhand. When Sibu lost Tamar election, he was to quit the post ad he did it to invite President's rule. Not only this, Congress party had made him Central Minister in last UPA regime and made him more powerful by giving him the creamiest ministry. . Congress party made Lalu Yadav as Railway Minister even though he was involved and accused in Chara Ghotala case.As such Congress party has got moral to protest Sibu Soren becoming CM of Jharkhand.

Why quota for Gujjars and ECBS, why not only for ECBS
Rajasthan Government has approved the bill for reservation of 5% for Gujjars and 14% for Economically Backward Classes (ECB) over and above existing reservation of 49 % shared by OBC 21% , ST 12% and SC 16%.It is against the ruling of Supreme Court that in no case reservation should be more than 50%.
In the past several times state government as also central government have attempted to go beyond the ceiling of 49% against the provision and spirit of the Constitution in temptation of political benefits but the judiciary have always given the verdict against such measures of the government.
This is once again a shameful day when government has directly exhibited contempt of court and invited litigation in the court. Congress party has made several histories by going against the wishes of the highest court as also the basic structure and spirit of the Constitution. As such the enhancement of quota by Rajasthan government is not that much astonishing. At least Mr. Arjun Singh, Congress Party high profile leader and the Ex Minister of Reservation will celebrate it.
It may be the dramatic attempt of the government to please the caste and the group which were in agitation since long. It may be an attempt of the government to strengthen its vote bank because they know very well that they cannot perform otherwise. Reservation is the one and only tool in the hands of politicians of this country which they often use to attract voters in their fold.
There is no doubt that such steps of the government not only humiliates the judiciary but also it will generate more and more violent movement in many other states by different castes and groups Opposition parties may use this example to demand such type of reservation at all India level and may ultimately lead to aggressive movement, dangerous violence and self burning as happened in the past when ambitious ex- Prime Minister Mr. V. P. Singh had announced quota for OBCs.
It is very much sad that there is none in political camp who can courageously oppose such whimsical moves of the government. Whoever opposes such moves will bear the brunt of the innocent but offensive mob. As such everyone will try to raise more and more demands and undoubtedly open Pandora’s Box for the government.
I however hope some PIL will be filed in the court against the decision of the Rajasthan government and that the judiciary will take note of such unconstitutional steps of the government and reverse the shameful decision very soon.
Reservation is the not at all the right and the lasting solution for the long persisting problem of unemployment .Most of the government departments have almost stopped fresh recruitment since 1991 and there is ridiculously always talk of reservation and quota by rulers of this country. Number of employees working in PSUs and government offices has been continuously coming down due to retirement, resignation or death. What is the use of quota when there are no fresh opportunities for job seekers? It is only private sector which has provided some relief to unemployment youths. And perhaps this is why politicians of this country are trying to destroy the work culture of private sectors too by motivating and pressurizing private sectors to introduce quota voluntarily.
Anyway, I strongly feel that whatever may be the quantum of reservation or the decision of the court, actual development and creation of job can only give ultimate and permanent relief to common men of the country. Voters as also politicians of this country have to understand necessarily this bitter truth and honestly act in this direction. Otherwise country cannot hope for improvement in work standard and overall image of the Nation.

Congress party has made several histories by going against the wishes of the highest court as also the basic structure and spirit of the Constitution. As such the enhancement of quota by Rajasthan government is not that much astonishing. At least Mr. Arjun Singh, Congress Party high profile leader and the Ex Minister of Reservation will celebrate it.
It may be the dramatic attempt of the government to please the caste and the group which were in agitation since long. It may be an attempt of the government to strengthen its vote bank because they know very well that they cannot perform otherwise. Reservation is the one and only tool in the hands of politicians of this country which they often use to attract voters in their fold.
There is no doubt that such steps of the government not only humiliates the judiciary but also it will generate more and more violent movement in many other states by different castes and groups Opposition parties may use this example to demand such type of reservation at all India level and may ultimately lead to aggressive movement, dangerous violence and self burning as happened in the past when ambitious ex- Prime Minister Mr. V. P. Singh had announced quota for OBCs.
It is very much sad that there is none in political camp who can courageously oppose such whimsical moves of the government. Whoever opposes such moves will bear the brunt of the innocent but offensive mob. As such everyone will try to raise more and more demands and undoubtedly open Pandora’s Box for the government.
I however hope some PIL will be filed in the court against the decision of the Rajasthan government and that the judiciary will take note of such unconstitutional steps of the government and reverse the shameful decision very soon.
Reservation is the not at all the right and the lasting solution for the long persisting problem of unemployment .Most of the government departments have almost stopped fresh recruitment since 1991 and there is ridiculously always talk of reservation and quota by rulers of this country. Number of employees working in PSUs and government offices has been continuously coming down due to retirement, resignation or death. What is the use of quota when there are no fresh opportunities for job seekers? It is only private sector which has provided some relief to unemployment youths. And perhaps this is why politicians of this country are trying to destroy the work culture of private sectors too by motivating and pressurizing private sectors to introduce quota voluntarily.
Anyway, I strongly feel that whatever may be the quantum of reservation or the decision of the court, actual development and creation of job can only give ultimate and permanent relief to common men of the country. Voters as also politicians of this country have to understand necessarily this bitter truth and honestly act in this direction. Otherwise country cannot hope for improvement in work standard and overall image of the Nation.

Contempt of Court
The Supreme Court has given a veiled advise to leaders of UPA either to remove chief Minister like Mr. Karunanidhi or they (court ) will not hesitate in giving advice from the court level to The Government of India to impose President's rule in the state where even Chief Minister is disobedient to even court order
.
After all what purpose Mr. Karunanidhi is going to serve by sitting on dharna or calling a bundh in Chennai or in a state? It is his own government in the state as well as at the centre and he can take any step to ensure what he wants. So far as Ramsetu canal construction is concerned it is still in process of deliberation and the central government has not given any instruction to stop the on- going process.
In democracy, point and counter point is unavoidable on any vital or small issue. Some leaders are pro and some are against the proposed dam, not only in opposition camp but also in the ruling camp. I think even in UPA, many MP's are such who do not believe in the logic given by Mr. Karunanidhi that Lord Ram never existed and hence the so called Ramsetu is farce and simply myth.
Even majority of people in India and abroad believe that there is some truth in Ramayana and Mahabharat and even scientists are relentlessly researching on various contents in these valuable Epics. If one person like Mr. Karunanaidhi or parties like DMK do not have faith in God, he cannot be allowed to build pressure on other person or party through Bandh or Dharna to adopt his opinion and leave worshipping God Rama.
After all, all religions are based on faith and faith only. If someone worship a statue or a book (Granth) or air or fire or snake or a tree it is only due to his believe that there lies God and by such action he purifies his mind and heart and keeps himself away from sins.
If Mr.Karunanidhi do not believe in God, it is not astonishing that he does not comply court order and disregard public faith. As such court has rightly concluded that there is complete breakdown of Constitutional machinery. Hence the need arises either for change of Government or leader or imposition of President's rule in the state.
One more remedy is to punish the person Mr. Karunanidhi individually and do not punish the entire state for the fault of one individual or one party.
But who will do it? UPA government cannot imagine removing Mr. Karunanidhi because its own survival depends on the support of Mr. Karunanidhi and his party. This was the reason that Ms Sonia Gandhi forgot that one of the accused was Mr. Karunanidhi and his party DMK was behind the murder of her husband late Rajiv Gandhi .For the sake of power one can go to any extent.
Due to such dirty politics prevailing in our country that court is left with no alternative but to encroach upon the rights and duties of the executive and legislative body and go beyond its limitation to advise the central government to impose President’s rule.
Court may also direct the Chief Secretary to file a contempt petition. BUT as a matter of fact, court cannot expect any good decision from political leaders, irrespective of party.
.Even left party supreme and the speaker Mr. Somnath Chatterjee left no stone unturned only in the recent past to belittle judiciary to keep his and his party's ego above the court. There are some more dominant leaders who will try to build pressure on the ruling combination to have debate in the Parliament on the issue of court’s so-called frequent intervention in the domain where the legislative and executive body has to ponder over and act
. They will never think why after all court is taking such steps?
Has court given any bad advice in the past to political leaders or to the government?
If yes, the political leaders may be treated as right in asking for debate. Otherwise they have not moral to ask for debate when the advice of the court is genuine and in the interest of the mass.
Political leaders have no right to treat the people as their slave, and the country as hostage of the party they belong.
In democracy there is delay in removing such dirty leaders but not darkness or public impotence that such leaders will survive even after they perpetuate crime and commit one after other sins.
